#talk between #architect #Mariobotta and the #designer and businessman #maurizioriva of #riva1920 #riva1920wood #maledettodesign ( a group of conferences curated by S. Coppa ) entitled "possibillity, #project, or #design? " at #centroculturaledimilano #city #milan #milano #italy #italia #20 #march #2019 . An account of the projects developed by mr. riva with the #architect botta and his studio and of the activity of the designer himself , starting by the as simple , as complex act of drawing to define forms , possibilities and eventually to corrige mistakes. The pc can help architect to develop a project but nothing is equal as designer on paper and visualizing a project on that support . Next conference on the 27 march 2019.

Falò means bonfire in English. I designed this little stool using leftover short pieces of Riva 1920 wood which would have been burnt if not recycled. The energy of Falò reflected the energy in my life at that time as mother of a six year and a nine year old. “So P, how old are you now?” I asked at breakfast, pretending I don’t know. Between mouthfuls of cereal you said, “Six.”“So, what do you want to be when you grow up?” I said. “I want to be seven.”“I see. And what do you want to do when you’re bigger. What do you want to be.”“Ohhhhh! Twenty four.”“And what do you want to do when you're twenty four?”“Ummm.... I want to be a forest ranger. I also want to be an architect,” you added.“Well you can be both you know,” I said. You burned up a lot of energy at that age and lit up the house. You would throw your body on the bed, knock yourself over and fall on the floor. You would hop, jump, run or fall from the living room couch. You would buzz, hum, roar or screech around the house depending on what robot, space ship, motorcycle or airplane you had just constructed....#terrydwan #falo #riva1920 #stool #recycledwood #energy #solidwoodfurniture #madeinitaly #womendesigners #forestranger #architect #bewhatyouwant

#Repost @sergiodeliaharley (@get_repost)・・・Sometimes I see these objects as a message in a bottle, something to leave behind, a message of love. We live our lives so fast and don’t have time to express our affection for one another. We don’t get the time to share meaningful moments in the presence of like-minded commrades. Sometimes getting drunk allows us to relax so we can bond quickly with others but I prefer to keep my wits about me. Two cedar hearts are show here, one in a natural state, the other charred with fire in the Japanese shou sugi ban method of weatherproofing. They sit on our illuminated exhibition display cases Tiki....#terrydwan #riva1920 #tiki #displaycases #objects #messageinabottle #leavebehind #messageoflove #cedarhearts #naturalstate #charredwithfire #shousugiban #weatherproofing #woodlover #furnituredesign #womendesigners #madeinitaly

Riva 1920 presents Mondana, a stool made from a single block of natural aromatic cedar, which is hand finished and without the addition of any treatment. The designers, AMeBE were inspired by a favourite and indispensable object in the female universe: the handbag. #wood #naturalwood #cedar #matisse19 #matissenz #riva1920 #italianmade #design
